Verba (Words of Institution)
The lyrics of the Verba (Words of Institution) come from the words spoken by Jesus during the Last Supper as He consecrated the bread and wine. Christ tells us to take and eat His body and to drink His blood for the forgiveness of sins. The Verba is used as part of the Liturgy during the sacrament of Holy Communion.

Lyrics:
On the night he was betrayed
he took bread, gave thanks, and broke.
“This is my body.
This is my body.
This is my body.
Take and eat.
Take and eat.
Giv’n for you.
Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
On the night he was betrayed,
he took the cup, gave thanks and spoke,
“Drink from me all of you.
This is my blood.
This is my blood.
This is my blood.
The cov’nant poured new,
poured for you.
Poured for you for sins forgiv’n.
When you drink remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
“Remember me.”
